Free Mobile received no 4 G frequency on the 800 MHz band, say "in gold", but has no regrets...
As we reported a few days ago, Free was not accepted by ARCEP (the telecoms regulator) for the allocation of frequencies"gold" on the band of the 800 MHz, which would have enabled him to extend its 4 G network on the less dense areas of French territory.
But apparently this no worries nor this Maxime Lombardini, CEO of Iliad, the mother House of Free, which has responded to the AFP in these words: "It is not regrets." "If it was thought that it was vital for us, it would have been more aggressive, and today is considered that it has everything what need us in terms of frequencies".
Remember that the money has been the lifeblood for the allocation of these frequencies that wear well their names because three historical operators of mobile telephony are Orange, SFR and Bouygues Telecom have respectively made offers to 891 million, 1.065 billion and 683 million euros to get their lots.
Free Mobile still has frequencies in the band 2.6 GHz, corresponding to the dense and urban areas, and a roaming agreement will allow it to reach the rural areas. Free 4 G network is therefore in no way called into question.
Remains to know the offers and the date of loads because the missile of Xavier Niel is always on its take-off ramp!
